A Taste of Friday with Tracy Krauss and NEIGHBORS

NEIGHBORS – A Series

Forward

I love people watching. Airports,
waiting rooms, shopping malls –these are ripe fields for the student of human
nature. It was during one of these ‘research’ sessions that I started a list of
possible characters that might make an appearance in one of my novels. As I
began to flesh some of these people out, it dawned on me that I had an entire
community. What if they lived in the same neighbourhood, or even an apartment
building, where they could interact? I soon realized that several characters
had their own unique story to tell, perhaps not long enough for a full-length
novel, but perfect for a series. Thus NEIGHBORS took shape. I hope you enjoy
meeting this varied, sometimes quirky, cast. Welcome to the neighborhood.

NEIGHBORS - Volume 1 - New in the
Neighborhood

Lester Tibbett has to leave his farm in
Southern Alberta for the big city. It means starting over in an unfamiliar
environment - a heavy burden for the guardian of a teenage sister full of
angst. The apartment complex to which they relocate is a far cry from their
spacious farmhouse and offers little anonymity for a man used to doing things
his own way. During the process, he pushes his own loneliness aside in favor of
looking after his sister. As Lester struggles to find a church that will meet
both their spiritual needs, he quickly learns that neighbors come in many
forms, some of them quite meddlesome. Still, he is happy to accept help from an
overtly friendly neighbor named Jed who also happens to work for the same
construction company. The two soon become friends, despite Jed’s habit of trying
to set Lester up with every available single female, and end up frequenting a
local pub where Lester is surprised to discover an ‘old school’ mechanical bull
just waiting to be ridden. The former rodeo cowboy in him rises up, but not
before he meets a mysterious woman who is out of his reach.
